Looking for the Right Item

This Guide tells about how you can find the correct item you are looking for and avoid disappointment.
If you are a rookie or a first timer on eBay and don't know how to find exactly what you are looking for, hope this guide may help you!

Here are some guidelines:
1. Where are you going after opening eBay?

Look for the category that fits on the item you are looking for. If you are looking for some books, then you need to click the "Books" on the category list.

And if you are looking for some Arts, then click the "Arts" on the category list.

The Category List is the one that is being pointed by the arrow.

2. What's next after choosing a category?

Let us say, you are looking for some arts...and you've already clicked "Arts" from the category list.

This window will appear. And you may type a keyword, that is relative to the specific Artowrk you are looking for, on the box provided and ebay will provide all the items that is exact match or close match to the keyword you have entered.


If you are looking for Artworks with reasonable and affordable prices, you can use the following keywords:

No Reserve
Lowest Price

For Original and Signed Artworks

Original
Original Arts
Signed
Signed Arts

For Specific Style

Trees
Forest
Landscapes
Seascapes
Floral
Flowers
Abstract
Figures
Fantasy
Tuscany
Poppies

And you can also use the Artist's name or eBay Store name (ex. Art-depot88) as keyword.

And a new window will appear displaying huge number of items where you can choose what you are looking for.

3. So what will you do if you have been interested into an item?

Let us say you are looking for some painting of Trees and you have used "trees" as your keyword...

All the items on eBay which are under the Art category and with title that includes the word "tree" will appear.

You can look on with these items and go to different pages until you finally found the right and perfect picture you are looking for.

Click that item and you will view its description and specifications like the Title, Size, Medium, Artist, Creation Date, Payment Details, Shipping and Handling Details and how you may proceed with buying it.

And you may ask the seller some questions to know more about the item. See the arrow on the image below

You can click the Store/List Link to view the Seller's other items.


And you can use the Seller Store Name (like Art-depot88) even at the beginning of your search and you can use it as your keyword. If you trust this seller enough and you have decided to make it a very useful source for your needed things or stuffs, you may also click the Add to Favorite Sellers link so you may always visit this seller's store and view all his items.


Well, I hope, this guide gave you some idea on how to look for your exact item.



Thank you and enjoy buying from eBay
